Kudos To WordPress

WordPress makes blog software in addition to providing a free blogging service like blogspot. I pay for my own host for beforewisdom.com. My host uses wordpress software. I recently got a note that it was time to upgrade.

Upgrading for ordinary people is like Christmas morning. Promises of all sorts of goodies. For people in the IT field upgrading is more like “The Shining”. Upgrading often means lost data, broken features, and a plethora of hassles.

I backed up my entire domain to my hard drive, documented all of my customizations and I made an upgrade plan.

I didn’t need any of it. The upgrade took 5 minutes and everything worked fine out of the box. Not one hassle.
